feature request: retry/loop building of known-problematic packages
We've got packages that fail to build or pass tests, but only sometimes, and work fine if tried again. Maybe due to race conditions etc.
This causes autobuilder to stop until it is manually restarted. We lose a lot of waking developer time when the overnight builds aren't happening reliably.
Implement a mechanism to retry package builds if they are listed in a predefined list. Alternatively, implement the same logic in abuild
where options="retry"
.
Open to discussion.
